44 Best Bars near Locust Valley

“The front of house is very nice. When we walked up she was very helpful and we got a nice booth inside. The food was really good and fresh. They use organic ingredients and have some pizzas that are truly unique and delicious. The wings were great too, and one of the best gluten free crusts ever!“

“My wife and I went out to lunch today in Locust Valley, NY. Last July, the LVI Bistro changed owners. Marcel has owned the restaurant for over 40 years. They had an excellent reputation and their food and serve was always high quality. This was our first visit since the change and we found it was quite good. We sat down in the bar room and was greeted by the new manager, Andrea. He was very nice and gave us their new menus. Everything looked great from the appetizers to the entrees to the desserts. My wife wanted something light, so she ordered a Cesar salad with grilled chicken strips. I ordered a hamburger with fries. Rita, a waitress from the previous owner, chatted with us about the change and was very positive. There is a new chef, who prepares the food and has a quick turnaround. Both our meals were delicious and were served hot. We talked with the manager and he told us they were going to decorate and renovate the formal dining, the upstairs dining area and the bar room area. We were excited that this local restaurant was getting some loving care from the new owners.We enjoyed our lunch time and enjoyed our experience at the LVI Bistro. When we asked for the check, Andrea brought a dish of tiramisu with two spoons. He told us the desserts were all homemade. It was excellent and was a great way to end our meal.This is a new LVI Bistro and they made a great first impression on both of us. If you're in the Locust Valley area please make some time and try the new LVI Bistro. The service, the food and the atmosphere is great for a meal with two or ten people. Travel safely and keep healthy. We wish the new owners much success in the future. Best wishes.“

“Great place to have seafood . Food is very delicious . I had a dragon roll which was good size . Bass was melting in my mouth and buttery but lacked seasoning. Fries very good size but not crispy. They need to work on fries . Greek salad was more of tomato salad than Greek salad . Lacking major Mediterranean elements .Dietary restrictions: Kosher“

“Food is delicious and great size portions. The service is excellent. Erdom and Aziz were so kind and helpful. The atmosphere is quiet and lovely. Very clean and bright. Went a week ago and returned a few days later because my 1st experience was so great. Marion“

“I came here for a beer tasting class with an invite from a friend. It was my first time at this establishment. Upon entering, it's a very nice place to be inside. It's clean, airy, new, and a very casual environment. I don't know what to call this. It's like a tap room with wine and beer and a package store where you can purchase these products also to take home. It's a great place to kick back, especially if you live in the neighborhood and have a beer or two. But I was here for the class and for the cost of the class which was roughly $30 it's a great deal It's approximately a 2 hour class that covers a particular style of beer and numerous samples fron different breweries. I was more than satisfied with the number of samples that we went through. It's a communal table, and everybody gets along and enjoys themselves. I believe it's on the first Thursday of the month. The person who gave the class his name is Rory if my memory serves me right and he did a great job. It was an enjoyable evening and I hope to come back again for it. The beer store is interesting, to say the least. There are many brews here. But most of them, you've probably never run across at your local beverage store. Come here if you want to try some new variations on styles and small release beers. Note that you can buy the beers that you might have at the beer class.“

“This restaurant can lend itself to a very noisy environment. Yet today, with several tables taken, conversation was easy and able to be heard. We have been here several times for brunch and a couple of times for dinner. Delicious salad with greens, grape tomatoes and fresh red onions cut over a chicken milanese. Companions enjoyed their choices of crab cake benedict and a large cubano sandwich served with homemade shoestring fries. Shared their homemade flourless chocolate cakes served with a small scoop of vanilla ice cream. Three happy people after an excellent brunch.“

“The service always exceeds our expectations. Iggly is professional, knowledgeable, friendly and welcoming. The food was excellent. The ambiance is elegant, fun and comfortable. It's become our weekly spot to decompress from a busy work week.“

“I have really loved going there. The only complain would be the side salad. The Caesar dressing is awful and they have no ranch dressing. The steaks are good, but we are from Kansas City, so there's that. The meatloaf and other meals have been very good and we go on a fairly regular basis.“

“Owned by the same owner as Wild Goose, the food is equally as good. Wild Goose has a vibe that is all about a cocktail scene, while Heirloom tavern is about being able to enjoy a wonderful meal and hear your friends conversation. A real gem that more people should know about!“

“My best friend lives in Queens so she and I come to the Onion Tree every other Friday night. I wish this place was closer to me. I live in Yonkers. The food is superb, seasoned extraordinarily. The chicken is fresh, soft and cut into small bites. I always order chicken tikka masala, butter chicken, or chicken tikka pizza. I have never had food that I enjoyed this much and I have tried all foods all over the world. I never get tired of this place. And the food is served quickly and piping hot. They’re opening a second place in Manhattan. We’re getting closer to Yonkers!! The drinks are awesome too. Barbra and Louis work behind the bar. They’re friendly and great bartenders.“

“What a great lil dive bar(I love myself a good dive bar). Food was great and our bartender Gabby(Friday night is when we were here) was so AHH-MAZING!! Definable will come back here again when in town! Music was great, basketball on all the tvs and quick draw too (keno to me in Massachusetts). Short drive from Hofstra University (why we are here )“

“This is surprisingly good BBQ for long Island! The service is excellent: really friendly and everyone seemed proud of their food -- I love seeing that. The is good (not amazing), but if you're nearby, definitely stop in. The smoked porchetta is incredibly tender and unique.“

“La Ginestra has become out favorite restaurant in Glen Cove. The food and service are great. And here's a little secret. If you don't see it on the menu, ask your server if the chef can prepare what you want. No guarantee, but you may be surprised that get what you wish for.“

“Great fried chicken had a wings/thighs combo and chicken sandwich. Spicy is excellent. Did 50/50 with spicy regular for another meal. Also.had fries, rice, broccoli all.very good. Place was really nice inside too. Good bar and restaurant. Parking ain't great but food more than makes up for it.“

“The new ownership is just what this Mineola institution needed to refresh its brand. The staff is friendly/laissez-faire in that typical "Long Island" way (if you live here, you get it). The bar side can be a bit cramped on busy nights but the restaurant side is very spacious. The copious number of TVs make it ideal for Sunday football and they do occasionally rent the space for private events. The menu has been updated and upgraded but still retains that bar food charm. The wings are of the well-done variety, if you like that and are plenty spicy (although, your taste may vary). I enjoyed the addition of hot pepper flakes on their hottest wings. The baked clams, giant pretzel and quesadillas are perfect apps while the full menu is surprisingly extensive with meatloaf, pot and Sheppard's pie, and a triple meat blend burger that knocks it out of the park. Prior to my last visit, it had been years since visiting Cornerstone and I'm glad I found my way back to this solid neighborhood pub.“

“This bar was originally under a different name then it closed and recently reopened with a new name. Inside it looks like absolutely nothing was changed. Same large bar area filled with TVs showing sports, pool tables, and a few high tops scattered around. They had a decent crowd on a Saturday night and you could tell it was mostly regulars.The bartenders are super nice and always remember what you're drinking. This is not the place to go if you want fancy craft beer or the best cocktail of your life. It's very much a dive with a friendly group of people and more of a local watering hole. Not a bad spot to kick back, watch the game, and enjoy a cold one.“

“EDIT: came here shortly after qriting the review- lights dim and music up- haha fantastic- thank you@An often overlooked spot, Haven offers good cuisine and cocktails. I think more people would come here if the lights weren't so bright and the music a little louder. It need to have a more lively feel.“

“Stopped in for a burger and a beer. This place is a solid 4. I normally laugh when a restaurant asks how you want your burger cooked cause it always comes out well done. I asked for medium, and it fame back medium. If I knew they could nail it, I would have gone medium rare. The burger was well seasoned and excellent flavor. Fries were good too. Great lunch I had.“

“I went to this bar and was thoroughly amazed. Our bartender Sam was absolutely awesome. She was engaging and funny and made our time there very memorable. What was supposed to be 2 rounds turned out to be all afternoon and into the evening. She made sure to keep us thoroughly entertained and hydrated. I highly recommend this bar and Sam as the bartender. We will be coming back...“

“Honestly, I went to this place two weekends in a row and was pleasantly surprised with how yummy it was. I love that I was able to order everything on lettuce wraps. Kung Pow chicken spicy, caramelized Brussels sprouts, and Vietnamese shrimp were among my favorites. I honestly wouldn’t recommend ordering the salsa here. It’s a little affected. One of my friends mentioned that it looked like alla-vodka sauce, and I agree he wasn’t wrong.“

“Tavern style bar and eatery with big ideas.Menu is eclectic with wagyu meatballs, a crisp roast chicken and fingerling potatoes, or a tender 12oz steak, which arrives sliced. All are terrific.The food is much better than you might expect, and the atmosphere and service are pleasant and unfussy.“

“Amazing homemade pasta! Chicken cutlet to die for! Even the simple Arugula Salad is so delicious! Service was super friendly. Chef came over and chatted with us - great guy! We have eaten there several times now and always top notch food.Gave 4 for atmosphere as a bit loud when we got there, but calmed down significantly.“

“Best restaurant to have your special occasion! We just had a small luncheon for my son’s confirmation at Sullivan’s! Food, service and atmosphere were second to none! Thank you, Sullivan’s for making our son’s special day extra perfect!!!❤️“

“Great local bar! What a great bar, with a super chill laid back vibe. I was looking for a local bar with Karaoke for my birthday and I am so glad my friend recommended this place! Dennis behind the bar was excellent! Great personality and very attentive. It may seem like a small thing, but I really liked (and appreciated) that he automatically served a glass of water with each drink (I was drinking whiskey). Everything was nice and clean, and the drinks were so reasonably priced! There was a good selection of food also, and although I didn't eat anything, my friends ordered wings and enjoyed them. I will definitely be back!“

“Sandbar is reminiscent of so many beautiful seaside venues. The interior design does match the restaurant's namesake and it was pleasant to the eye. Even the bar area looked inviting. I could see myself stopping by to watch a game.As for the food, my friend and I shared the mussels to start. Go ahead and dip some bread into the sauce of the dish. It'll change your life. We had the chickpea fries as well but I wasn't a fan of those. Our main dishes included the Pappardelle Bolognese and the Branzino. Both seemed expertly crafted. I have no complaints there. They seem to have a solid wine collection so don't worry about finding the right libation to add to your dinner.There were some slight service glitches and some of the staff seemed less than warm, but that could've been a fluke or my perception. Don't let that deter you. I would come back for sure!“

“Kelly’s has the perfect formula for a hometown local bar. The staff and patrons welcome everybody. No matter how packed it is. The Basar always serves everyone within five minutes. The food is genuinely good and consistent. The atmosphere is always inviting and welcoming. You cannot go wrong going there for a drink or two.“

“This is our “go to “ place for years! Wonderful atmosphere and great food!We recently hosted a party for 50 people and could not have been more pleased with the service and food. The upstairs party room is beautiful and well suited for private events.“

“Went there Saturday Dec 2nd too eat.Had there Prime Rib. Really enjoyed it.Im going back just for that.Billy Powell the owner greeted me while eating and I thought that was way cool and professional.Everyone there who works gave great service.Love this place.“

“Had a terrific lunch @ Maggianos! Our group of 6 placed our lunch orders in advance on their website. Upon arriving, our food was ready and our service was awesome. The staff brought out a happy birthday dish with cookies and candles for our friend after we casually mentioned it was her birthday. We only have an hour for lunch before returning to work and they really made our experience seamless. Can’t wait to come back for another lunch combination; salad and flatbread. Came w delicious bread!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“His & Hers Bar and Lounge is a great place to visit. Stopped in to watch the game. The drinks and apps were great, and the owner and staff were extremely nice. It's was a few days before Christmas, and the owner was dressed as Santa, giving out toy and photo op.Will definitely be back. They sure won't disappoint.“

“Ordered from this place for the 1st time and eventhough i only live about 10 minutes away it took the uber driver 23 minutes to get the order to me..... even with that being said, the food came hot and it was delicious. The only thing i wish is that they would supply the utensils needed to crack open the crabs but if you have some industrial scissors and a good hammer and forks you can make it work. I would absolutely recommend this place even for ordering if you live near by it is worth it. next time i want a seafood boil i will go to this location in person to be able to experience the restaurant itself, the staff, and the service.“

“Really great local bar. Great liquor selection as well as beer and other beverage selection they are open till 3 AM and always have great music you can play games at the bar and they have a great selection of things to eat and the kitchen is open super late as well which is really great especially after long concerts at the Capitol theater this is always a great place you don’t have to rush to get out and eat some thing. I 10 towards vegetarian eating so the veggie burger he was excellent as for the fries really top notch.Vegetarian options: Veggie BurgerDietary restrictions: Vegetarian“

“It's Saturday afternoon, my wife and I were in the Glen Head and Sea Cliff area. We decided to have a light lunch locally. My wife had been to Gallagher's Pub in Sea Cliff the previous night with her girlfriends and thought they had great food. We walked in to a quaint Irish pub and were greeted by Marcus. He smiled and remembered my wife from the night before. We sat down and viewed the menu. Nice selection of food and drinks. We ordered some drinks. My wife had a soda and I had Smithwick beer. A good Irish ale. We decided on the French onion soup. It was served hot and was delicious! We ate and talked and some of our friends came in and visited with them. Good times. My wife was full after the soup , so she ordered some French fries. I ordered a buffalo chicken burger with onion rings. I thought I try something different the chicken burger was great and the onion rings were perfect. We enjoy our meal and visiting with our friends. Marcus gave us a tray for our leftover with a note on the cover. See the photos. It seems Marcus adds a special note to his customers. This was a nice and unexpected surprise. We enjoyed our time at Gallagher's. The wait service was excellent, the food was great and the atmosphere was friendly. I strongly recommend Gallagher's Pub. If you're in Sea Cliff on the north shore of Long Island stop by Gallagher's for a drink and some great food. Travel safe and keep healthy. All the best to you all.“

“Came on the recommendation of a friend. Location is definitely unique. The interior almost reminds me of a place in Manhattan, with the vibe and the decor.They seated us quickly and the service was fantastic. Food and drinks were excellent! Swamp juice was definitely worth it! Kids had blackened chicken and Mac and cheese. The Jambalaya was outstanding!We will definitely be returning!“

“Came in for dinner with my kids(we are visiting from Massachusetts) we put them back at the hotel and we came back cuz the vibe was so great! Food was AHH-MAZING! Service was on point ! Big Rangers bar and from the decor it also looks like a big Raiders bar as well...closing time says 11pm but that's not true, it's based on volume of people in the bar. If they are making money they will stay open. HIGHLY recommend!! Allof the servers and bartenders were great! Cant say enough about this place!! 5“

“Recent JGB show, inspired my first review. Capital always does a nice job with crowds, you get inside quickly, Garcias has good drinks and beers, and great staff. Parking can be a challenge, but the lot near the train station always seems to have the kind spot. The local beer garden is worth it, for a little pre-game. If you like deadbands and jambands, great place. Thank you Capital Portchester for years and years of great shows!“

“This is the quintessential fun bar in a great location. I love live music and they have some great performances. Drinks are made just the way I like em because my favorite bartender, Shivani is amazing! Not only is she efficient but she is engaging and warm. Would go back just to chat with her. She makes all feel welcome. See a performance here for sure“

“I ordered a Sicilian online with a chocolate pie and peanut butter pie piece. The pizza was a 7 out of 10. Hot, cheesy, and saucy. Could have a been a tad tastier. The desserts were very good. The driver made it under the time. He forgot forks, but came back to give us some....amazing!!! The Sicilian pie was a bit expensive at $30 in a regular pie box.“

“I recently dined at Madeira Sports Café with a friend on a quiet Tuesday night. The dual ambiance of a bar and dining area created a welcoming atmosphere. Our meal started with delicious beef pastries as an appetizer. For the main course, my friend enjoyed the pasta a la vodka, while I opted for the grilled shrimp with rice and vegetables. We paired our meals with a glass of Portuguese red and white wine.The attentive service by Mauricio, our waiter, truly stood out. When I praised the white wine without knowing its name, Mauricio went the extra mile, bringing an empty bottle for us to photograph. He also thoughtfully changed the TV channel from loud soccer to horse riding, enhancing our dining experience. Mauricio’s timely and polite check-ins added to the overall positive impression.The food itself was exceptional, and we chose to forgo dessert. With Mauricio’s attentive service and the delectable dishes, I confidently give Madeira Sports Café a perfect 5 out of 5 rating. We’re already looking forward to another delightful dinner at this establishment and highly recommend it to others.“

“A very nice place to very good experience staff very professional The food is wonderful it's a great experience a good place to eat For some people it's an experience for other people it's enjoyment of enjoying a place like this because they are very professional and they make sure that you are taking care of properly with the food and satisfaction of just enjoying the place in general It is a good experience and a nice place to go for a bite to eat“

“I was a long time patron at the bar when it was ringside bar. I would stop in from time to time for a quick drink after work because it was a block from my job at the time. It was dark, with disco balls and a ridiculous light show...i hadnt been there in about a year until last month when they changed managment and the name to Broadway 247. The remodel is amazing, the new owners brought that place back to life, and pulled the plug on that underground goth disco vibe it previously had. Bartenders were friendly, good drink specials. Ive met 3 of the owners thus far and they couldnt have been more professional or accommodating. I no longer work a few blocks away but have gone out of my way several times to stop in for a drink!“

“Stopped in for one drink today because I needed it. The place was very nice, very clean. Two very nice young ladies behind the bar. I had a Manhattan that was very good! But I must say one thing, I had a glass of water and it truly was delicious. That speaks volumes to me. So many places don't put any effort into their disgusting water And it really offends me. This water obviously is filtered and looked after and I just want them to know it that I noticed and it's appreciated.“

“This restaurant/bar was great! Awesome location, decor and atmosphere. Try the short ribs or the salmon! You won't be disappointed.. The food was amazing and the drinks were also very good. And the staff are attentive and friendly. I would recommend making a reservation..“
